General Defrosting Tips

1. Do not defrost coveredmeat. Covering might allow

cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap and tray. Place food on a microwave-safe rack in a dish. During defrost, juices accumulate in dish and may become hot enough to cook the food. Elevating meat off of the dish will prevent the bottom and sides from

beginning to cook.

2.Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down, Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down,

3.The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a deep block,

4.Auto Defrost is programmed for specific weights. Defrost results will be affected if you enter an incor- rect weight,

5.Auto Defrost is programmed for frozen food at 0 ° E If food is stored at a higher temperature, expect short- er defrost times.

6. After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food. You may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.

7.During Auto Defrost, the oven will prompt you 1 turn the food over.At this point, openovendooran check the food. Follow the techniques listed belo_ for optimum defrost results. Then, close oven doo_ touch Start Pad to complete defrosting.

•Turn Over: Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turke breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.

•Rearrange: Break apart or separate steaks, chop, hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafoo pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.

•Shield: Use small strips of aluminum foil to prote_ thin areas, edges of unevenly shaped foods such a

chicken wings. To prevent arcing, do not allow foi to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door.

•Remove: To prevent cooking, thawed portion should be removed from the oven at this point. Thi

may shorten defrost time for foods weighing les than 3-1bs.

8.After defrosting, allow food to stand 5 to 10 minute

if there are any icy areas. If large solid roasts, such a sirloin tip or rump roasts, are not completely thawe_

after standing, return roast to oven and program Aut( Defrost for 1 lb.
